The Pathless returns to iOS as a standalone release! This action-adventure title, previously an Apple Arcade exclusive, is now available for mobile play without a subscription. Experience its vast open world and precise archery combat.
Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless maintains a minimalist aesthetic while delivering a rich gaming experience. Players assume the role of a hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a mysterious island using mystical abilities and a trusty bow and arrow.
We highly recommend The Pathless (and previously highlighted three compelling reasons to play it). Its standalone iOS release is a welcome return.
While some Apple Arcade games disappear after leaving the service, The Pathless's journey is a positive example. Initially slated as a console exclusive, its Apple Arcade debut garnered enough success to warrant this standalone mobile release.
